So Christmas, it was wonderful, even if it had a few black marks here and there. One huge black mark was that Thomas was sick. Like REALLY sick. Go to the ER sick. After 3 days of no eating and only kind of drinking and non stop crying, we took him in, and he had 2 bad ear infections and a viral infection. So they gave him meds to stop the vomiting (did I forget to mention he was throwing up all the time?) and antibiotics. Also, apparently little kids in the ER get the red carpet treatment. It was very full, and we got a private waiting room, they gave Thomas a quilt, a search and find toy, a book, and a stuffed dog. Nurses kept coming to see why he was crying, and if they could do anything, it was really nice of them. Finally the Dr said he had to drink something, otherwise we would have to be admited to give him fluids, which apparently is really hard on a toddler (for obvious reasons I guess) So the nurse brought him 2 sodas, apple juice and "special pink juice" which he actually drank! And then proceeded to drink everything else, once they got the anti-nausea meds in him he was doing much better. But then we had to wait 2 hours to see if he could keep it down. He did, and we left only to have him throw up in the parking lot, no joke. But it was okay.
Also, my mom was really sick, so that was no fun. But we had a great Christmas. We got to spend time with both families, and give and get plenty of gifts, and we got tons of snow (YAY!) And Lorelai was perfect, not a peep the whole time we were in the ER and dealing with a super sick brother, she was great. I love that girl (you too Thomas)
I just spent the last 4 hours unpacking and putting away gifts as well as reorganizing to fit it all, we are so blessed! And Thomas is laughing, BEST. SOUND. EVER.
